I think I would stick with a simple submersible pump system and go with the most tank and or tanks you can afford. Having a large pressure tank capacity will give you a large volume of water on hand in the event of a power outage as well as sharply reduce the on/off cycling of the well pump.

Here is a discussion on this topic and as you mentioned, reliability and power consumption are issues.
